PARENTS

Parents are responsible for the support of
their dependent children until the children become age 18 (or age 19 if
applicable).† Parents living in the
home with their children must be included in the assistance unit and their
total income counted as available in its entirety, unless the parent is an
SSI recipient.† Count the income of
parents excluded from the assistance unit because of a disqualification or
enumeration penalty as available to the assistance unit.

or receives assistance for his/her own children are not pulled into the minor
parentís AU.† However, if the minor
parentís parent receives Families First for the minorís siblings, the minor
